The #1 Mistake: The “Quick Fix”
When a denture breaks, many Canadians’ first instinct is to reach for a tube of Krazy Glue or
Gorilla Glue from the junk drawer. It seems like an easy, common-sense fix, right?
Please, stop! Never use household glues on your dentures.
Here is why:
- Toxicity: These glues are not meant for your mouth and can contain harmful chemicals
- Irreversible Damage: Household glue creates a layer that makes it nearly impossible
for a professional to realign the pieces perfectly. You might end up needing a brand-new
denture instead of a simple repair. - Ill-fitting Results: Even a hair-width misalignment can cause painful mouth sores and
long-term gum issues.
What You Should Do Instead
If your denture breaks, stay calm and follow these steps:
- Collect Every Piece: Find all the fragments, no matter how small. Even a tiny chip helps
us restore the original shape. - Do Not Attempt a Repair: Don’t try to sand, file, or glue it yourself.
- Call Us Immediately: At 250-833-1500, our team is ready to help!
